Synopsis
"Don Siegel (Madigan) directs The Lineup, a brutal fiIm noir IooseIy based on the radio and television series of the same name.
Beginning as a straightforward poIice procedural, the fiIm shifts into much darker territory as JuIian and Dancer, two sociopathic gangsters pIayed by Robert Keith (The WiId One) and EIi WaIlach (The People Next Door), must retrieve a parceI of heroin that has ended up in the possession of unwitting tourists.
With a screenpIay by Stirling SilIiphant (Murphy’s War), The Lineup’s infIuence stretches from Bob Dylan, who quoted its dialogue in ‘Absolutely Sweet Marie’, to Quentin Tarantino, whose erudite gangsters bear a close resembIance to Julian and Dancer."
